Arena settings vary pretty weird

Apples and oranges.  They are two different games, the only comparison they share is that they are both MMO's. Other than that any comparison as to the game mechanics or set up of Eve is irrelevant to Aces High.

Sunday afternoon (late) most of my squad (68th) was in LW Blue...I got booted (again) and come back and it's 370/320.

I go piddle around in MW for a half hour and come back and it's 325 of 320.

About another half hour later it's 320/320....so I keep bobbing in and out of MW to check the numbers and like two minutes later it's 323/320.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?????????

People are able to get IN to an overloaded arena after it has gone down to saturation?

I'd LOVE to hear the answer to that one.

(Unable to fly with squaddies for over 2 hours because of arena caps)

I think it goes like this:

Cap sinks down to 319/320. This very moment 4 people log onto the server at HTC (which as we know is not the one the arenas are hosted on). Each of them gets this 319/320 on his screen and thus is able to get  into LW Blue.
You log into HTC server, sever checks status of the arenas and tells you: 323/320 for LW Blue now.

This is really ridiculous!!! Possibly the most popular arena is limited to 120 players:rolleyes:  at the best "Prime-time" in Europe.

And the arena substituting that is limited to 170 players...

Woohoo...there must have been really massive hording that has insulted someone!!!!

Simultaneously and surprisingly, there are almost 350 free slots at each Early war arenas. That really looks like "Big Brother" is supervising, guiding and leading our behaviour in this game...That sign is almost a wish that AH-players do behave as the flock of sheep.


Ugh, Zuum (The most greatest whiner of all times) has spoken!:rofl

That, actually, is exactly the point.

Amen to that!
